hi. i have 2 of my blinds that can be operated via MQTT, and they're discovered by HA. great. 3 buttons for each: up, down, stop (well the stop can be used for a predefined level too, if operated when the blinds are not moving). in the cards i'm only finding a card with one big button, but i'd like to have cards with 3 buttons. how can i achieve that? i'm still discovering HA. thank you

[knotty abyss]

Simple way is maybe use a horizontal stack and just add each button you want and give it a title.

[feral cliff]

let me see

[polar kelp]

That was mentioned in the podcast, iirc. Scripts save a trace, since they are basically automations without a trigger, but there’s no UI to view it yet.

[feral cliff]

@knotty abyss in terms of UI, that will do for now until i learn to do better 🙂 now if i want to send specific MQTT messages, i believe i first need to create a file that defines that action, https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mqtt-script-payload/211454. do i just create such a file in the same place where HA's configuration.yaml lives?

thank you:)

[feral cliff]

@knotty abyss actually the HACS shutter card is awesome! https://github.com/Deejayfool/hass-shutter-card

[hallow mango]

check out multiple-entity-row, it might do what you want

oof first time that happened.

Ahhh ok, no more then 15 lines. I'll keep that in mind

[knotty abyss]

SO I figured out how to add an attribute to an entities card which is wonderful. What I'd like to do is remove the word items though on a sensor in an entities card

would this require a template sensor to do so? I'd rather not have to do that but

[vapid field]

Hey, sorry for late reply. Based on the Readme of card-mod - it does not work with the grid card 😭

[vapid field]

Does anyone else have an idea how to get a grid-card centered ?

[polar kelp]

Could you show a screenshot of the problem?

[vapid field]

sure

https://imgur.com/a/YBF6nrf

[polar kelp]

That's very odd... but that's the custom button-card, right?

[vapid field]

yes, it is

[polar kelp]

Did you manually set the aspect ratio of them?

[vapid field]

here is the code of the button-card :
https://pastebin.com/wvyBYErd

To be honest it´s very much copied and adjusted to my fittings

For sadness i am not the css crack that i should perhabs be

[polar kelp]

Did you check what happens if you turn off the "render cards as squares" toggle?

Either that, or you could try setting the button card aspect ratios to 1/1 https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card#aspect-ratio

It can be fixed with card-mod (using mod-card), but I don't recommend that and it wouldn't look good...

[vapid field]

i tried it with the toogle on and off but that has no effect

setting aspect-ratio to 1/1 in every card makes it looks like this:

https://imgur.com/a/vXNWe2t

setting the toggle (squares) to off and setting the aspect ratio to 1/1 makes it look even more odd.

In the picture you should see 4 cards in the card:
https://imgur.com/ScKKuVv

[polar kelp]

Ah. I see now. It's the lines yaml - height: 220px - width: 150px

They obviously mess up the aspect ratio

Just a whim; try changing that to min-width: 150px

...and the other place where you have width: 150 px

[vapid field]

great. looks much better: https://imgur.com/DbWVST2

but now the space between row1 and row2 is missing 🙈

[polar kelp]

Don't forget to remove the aspect ratio thing again

[vapid field]

ah

that did the trick! thank you very much!

is there a way to hide a card in lovelace based on its state? For example I want my chromecast cards to appear only if the chromecasts are on

[honest estuary]

Condition cards

[bitter bolt]

has anyone ever run into a bug with the visual editor where when edited a card and typing, it acts like you have insert on your keyboard toggled and starts overwriting text/writing backwards?

closing and re-entering the editor fixes it, but this happens to me sometimes. i think when i cut and paste stuff.

[dark dirge]

Code Mirror, which is the underlying package, has been known to have issues

[hallow mango]

@bitter bolt that happens to me sometimes editing f on the android app

gotten a bit better recently, but still happens sometimes

[dark dirge]

it has definitely been known to have issues on mobile devices

[hallow mango]

def related to cut and paste for me too

it was completely broken on mobile during one of the beta periods

Any ideas why this new button set I made for scenes can't call the "turn_off" service?
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/t4xb9gsgPD/

[dark dirge]

you can't turn scenes off

you only activate them

[hallow mango]

I would use scenes more if you could "turn on" a scene, and "turn off" to return to the way it was before

[dark dirge]

you can do that by creating a scene on the fly, activating an existing scene, and then activating the first one

but it is a bit cumbersome

[hallow mango]

^

[dark dirge]

I guess you could write a script to do that

[hallow mango]

really I should just play with scenes and see if I'd find them more useful than I'm imagining

[dark dirge]

it could get pretty complicated, though

scripts are better than scenes most of the time, if not all of the time

capturing and restoring state is the only cool thing about them

[hallow mango]

I don't have a lot of places where I think a scene would be useful... mostly things like "bedtime" or "movie time", but those are usually more controlled by "hey Google turn off the lights" or activities from harmony

[limpid apex]

Anyone knows why this is happening on Android? This is a normal entities card, it started happening after I updated home assistant https://imgur.com/G9BFjHu

[spark sedge]

Awesome! I'll try to keep an eye out for it.

[steep jewel]

just wanted to drop by and say whoever modified HA so it works again on older ipad's is a legend

[errant plover]

There was a problem with template-entity-row card that caused that issue in other cards. Do you use it? If so update it and try really hard to clear your browser / app cache. It can be persistent.

How can I save the settings permanently for a user?

anyone have problems with history tab? It don't show anything

So is the issue that I'm trying to use buttons with scenes? I thought I could just press the button for another scene, but maybe that's wrong. (I can still activate them from the normal menu but this doesn't work)

[limpid apex]

@errant plover that solved It. Thank you very much!

[orchid night]

Hi - what I think is a simple question. I have a url in a lovelace card, where part of the URL needs to be the output of a sensor. I can't find the right syntax to achieve this. Anyone have a pointer or know where to find a help page for this? Thank you!

[dark dirge]

Since they don’t support turn_off, toggle doesn’t make sense and I suspect that they don’t support that either. Use call-service with scene.turn_on

[left wren]

Interesting, I'll try that. Thanks!

[eager cypress]

Is there a way to have missing entities in an entities card go grey instead of the ugly yellow? I want to do some troubleshooting where I temporarily remove a package but that will cause Lovelace to have the annoying yellow

[static grail]

Is there a way to reference attributes of a device programmatically? Specifically, referencing the card/entity name in the yaml as the defined name of device - therefore always keeping the card label in sync with the name of the device

[hallow mango]

@orchid night @static grail you do that with templates, but not all cards support them

[orchid night]

ty I will research further into that

[warped yew]

Hi! I have a aqara door sensor that reports on/off on the ”alarm” to home assistant. How can i change it to display open/closed?

[karmic tiger]

You'd customise it and set a device class (which is more of an #integrations-archived question).

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/

[static grail]

Hrm. Docs don't really share how to put Templates to use in Cards. But your suggestion led me to being able to find where to update the 'Friendly Name' for states. I might still have to manage the name there, but at least gives more global-based reference if I ever need to update a name (e.g. switch/plug location)

[dark dirge]

"not all cards support them"

if a card supports templates, it will say so, and how to format them

[static grail]

...nevermind, HA keeps resetting the name on me. (Ah, I see; I have to update that in the Entities configuration)

Seems silly that I can't just print the name of the Device as a simple variable to title a Card or Entity control

[warped yew]

Thanks! That was easy enough!

[hallow mango]

well you don't really use devices for cards

usually you use entities

[final nacelle]

Sup guys has anyone a working lovelace to adjust and start a timer? Like if I want something to be turned off after let's say 30min, not every day just if I want to (like a toggle), another day I want it to turn off after 40min. I need a solution that works in the ui without going into scripts etc. so other people that use hass with me can adjust it aswell.

[hallow mango]

and the friendly name of an entity is what's usually used when you show it in a card... but most have the ability to change that as well

just not ALL cards support a template to have it update automatically if you've specified something besides the normal friendly name it'll already use

[static grail]

Ah, okay.... So I was worried about renaming the entity (e.g. "Testbench on_off" to "Testbench" and whether it would follow the name of the Device. But it seems as long as it can do a replace(?), the name follows.

So updating the target Entity to the name of the Device keeps it in sync.
...but of course I have to update my cards to reference the new name.

As a point of feedback, I see this as a downside to HA, honestly. In other platforms, you can just rename the device and all the references "just work"

[hallow mango]

basically I'd recommend naming your devices/entities whatever you want them to be and not changing them regularly

that way you don't have to update things as often

[dark dirge]

the introduction of device_id to improve on this has not been great. You can't pick the ID, so it's really only usable in the UI, and it doesn't work everywhere or support all functionality. I'll call it a work in progress

[hallow mango]

also as long as the entity id stays the same, name and stuff will stay in sync

on your card, I mean

[honest estuary]

Why change the entity is, i change the name of the entity and keep the entity id the same

[polar kelp]

type: custom:auto-entities

                "title": state_attr(config.entity, "friendly_name"),
                "entities": [config.entity]
              },
              {
                "type": "button",
                "entity": config.entity
              }
            ] }}

Not as bad as I feared.

[hallow mango]

sorcery lol

though, could be done similarly (and less confusingly lol) with any card that supports templates, which was basically what I was getting at

[mortal crystal]

What'd be the best way to have an entity in a lovelace dashboard that can only be turned on at certain times of day (but off at any time of day)? I'd like to make sure I don't accidentally flip my kid's bedroom light on at 10pm ever again.

[hallow mango]

I honestly didn't know you could do that fancy of a thing with auto entities though, which is neat

@mortal crystal restriction-card probably

[mortal crystal]

that was easy - not sure why i didn't manage to turn that up in google

[halcyon basin]

evening all, Is it possible to change to display "Away" for wifi device trackers rather than unknown? not sure if this should be a front end question, or an integrations question. TIA

[dark dirge]

some cards let you change the displayed value for states (typically ones that support templates), or you can create a template sensor based on your device_tracker that returns whatever you want

[karmic tiger]

Why would unknown be 'away'? Unknown means it can't tell.

[hallow mango]

Does anybody know why the ability to edit my views is no longer in the header while in edit mode? https://ur.lifes-a-me.me/TZkoEY

[craggy dagger]

Is it possible to control my thermostat with an Aqara Temperature sensor? My ecobee is in the worst spot and is always running for hours longer than it needs to. I'd like to be able to create multiple, so if I'm sitting in my office it can turn it on/off based on whatever room I'm in. I know I could set up an automation, but I'd like to have something I can tweak as I need it in lovelace so I can control it by degrees instead of each sensor having 10 different single degree difference automations

[dark dirge]

No, you cannot integrate non-ecobee sensors into the ecobee thermostat like that

[craggy dagger]

Right but is there no way to control that via Home Assistant to connect the two systems, or is that not possible? Some way to monitor the temperature with Aqara and then use Home Assistant to turn the ecobee on/off

[balmy wolf]

For the entities card can you make the first switch only target specified entities instead of everything in the card?

Or not even display that master switch?

[dark dirge]

Ecobee still wants to maintain control. You can review the services provided by the climate entity and the additional ones the the ecobee integration provides, but you can’t treat the ecobee as a dumb thermostat

You can adjust the temp targets, turn on the fan, etc. but there’s no way to change what it thinks the temp is or what to do about it

The ecobee remote sensors’ purpose is basically to do what you want, though

They monitor room presence, and you can tell the thermostat to ignore some or all

[craggy dagger]

Ah, I get it. Sorry, I think I wasn't clear. I don't want to trick the ecobee or anything, I just want to utilize the Aqara sensor to turn it on or off. Basically, this is what I'd like to accomplish:

Create a thermostat card in lovelace bases it's "current temperature" on the aqara sensor in my living room, and I can set a "target temperature". If I adjust the target temp down (let's say the current temperature is 74 and I adjusted the target temperature down to 72), that'd trigger Home Assistant to call the climate.set_temperature service to HVAC Mode: Cool, and the target temperature to something ridiculous, like 50 degrees (realistically it could be anything that there's 0 chance the ecobee would ever actually be able to cool the house to), and then once it reaches that target temperature, it'd call the climate.set_hvac_mode service to Off

how do i make certain pages on the left sidebar not appear for certain users? can i do this as the admin for specific users or does it need to be done from the user device?

[boreal trellis]

Hi guys. This might seem fairly nooby but I'm going round in circles. I have a picture elements card and want to tap on an icon to toggle an entity. The tap-action function will override 'toggle' to 'more-info' if it deems the switch entity doesn't support 'toggle'. This is weird because in the 'more-info' card that appears there is a toggle switch that can be tapped to toggle the entity! Anyhow, I tried a work-around by creating a toggle entity helper, that I was going to link to a node-red function to actually switch the entity, but that doesn't work either!
- type: state-icon
entity: input_boolean.pump_1
tap-action:
action: toggle
icon: mdi:pump
name: Jets 1
when tapped, this pulls up 'more-info' instead of toggling.

Guys, I'm a little bit annoyed by: every time I use a new device, or cleaned cache/browser-storage, some frontend settings need to be re-configured.
For example: which panel to show/hide, and primary/accent colors. https://imgur.com/a/T0rYyXv
I remember i read it somewhere that some frontend configs are stored in local storage, which makes sense that they gets cleaned often.
But is there a way (for example write my default config to a yaml file) to give frontend explicit default configs?

I've already cleared all cookies connected to hassio and the problem also appears on the android app for me. I've thought that it cloud be, I've got any device that doesnt exist anymore, i did indeed find 3 of them and deleted the cards they appeared in but it didn't solve my Problem.

it manages to remove the login cookies but not the cache, ridiculous

just kill all firefox executables?

will probably not help

open browser console, then hit ctrl+shift+r 5-10 times

no luck, i found the about:serviceworkers section though

[wheat current]

don't mess with that

[frail iron]

just unregistered the one for my ha

haha

still no change, cleared site data and cookies again

[wheat current]

ignore it

it will eventually disapear

[frail iron]

allright, i thought its something to do with my hacs misbehaving

nothing happens after I click explore repositories

I had to reauth on github and have lost the nodered integration in the process, maybe not the right channel for this though

[wheat current]

#integrations-archived is better for that

[frail iron]

it works in the private window I just logged in, so definitely can't just ignore the wrong frontend from 4 months ago

I don't know if maybe html5 push notifications can be actionable... otherwise someone should get on that 🤔

Hi - I am using a horizontal button with two buttons. How do I make one of the buttons change colour for a couple of seconds when pressed then return the colour and state back to normal?

And can I also make the pressing of one button change the colur state of the other button?

Has anyone customized the layout of the manual alarm card? Would it work the same as any other card?

[vapid field]

Hey there, perhaps it was just too late yesterday. It´s driving me crazy - i just can´t get the card in a smaller width. Could anyone of you have a look?

[heavy pasture]

I have a strange problem where one of my custom cards gets an error of custom element does not exist on some of my computers and on others no issue. Cleared cache on all that do not work and all are using the same version of Chrome

[meager geyser]

Hey y'all, do you know how I could merge 3 different entities together in one card? i.e changing the state of one is mirrored to the other 2 devices. (This is for my Philips Hue playbars which are all showing up separately)

[dark dirge]

Those are two different things

How they’re displayed and how they work are separate problems

Sounds like you need an input_number and an automation to change the state of other entities based on its value

Hi all

Does the HA frontend have a way to delete scenes? I've checked all over but I cant seem to figure it out

Seems that all I can do is disable the entity

But I want to remove it completely

glad if anyone can help, thanks

[dark dirge]

It’s under the 3-dot menu

[frail goblet]

Ahh...that seems to be my issue then

Thanks. I honestly think it should be a little less hidden

lol

[fiery ledge]

can we no longer set things like ha-card-border-radius: 0px in the theme default: ? this worked nicely before, but no longer. haven't checked the theme for some time, so maybe not new. this https://community.home-assistant.io/t/can-we-change-add-variables-to-default-theme/214507/2?u=mariusthvdb was very nice, but all seems gone now?

[fiery ledge]

or would this be more of a #devs_frontend-archived question...

[wheat current]

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/frontend/#defining-themes does not mentioning adjusting default at all, so if that worked before I'd say that was a bug.

[fiery ledge]

rather call it an undocumented feature 😉 and it was very useful at that, because not all is defined in the default default theme...

[wheat current]

don't rely on undocumented bugs/features/whatever

if you feel strongly about the usecase, raise a feature request

[fiery ledge]

thanks, will do, and no, you are right, we shouldn't rely on that, it's just that I noticed only now, so maybe a recent change in the frontend? anyways, Ill try and conjure up an FR.

Is there a way to overlay the temperature of a room (say, from a tasmotized temperature sensor) on a video stream (say... Nest camera stream)...

[worthy moat]

Morning all, why would I be getting this error ONLY on this light group, but not the others? The error itself makes sense, but the light group itself is showing as "unavailable" (individual lights in the group are available and controllable) "This entity ("light.master_bedroom_lights") does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. See the documentation for more detail.

You can overwrite some attributes in the entity customizations section." - platform: group name: Master Bedroom Lights entities: - light.master_lampleft - light.master_lampright

[tame dove]

That error has nothing to do with it being unavailable, only that it has to be edited in yaml and can’t be edited through the UI.

Hi All. Noob here. Is it possible to create a custom card that shows a countdown timer in one row and in the next row there are 3 buttons in 3 columns for "Start", "Stop", and "Reset"? I figured out how to make the timer row but not the buttons row. I would like to make the text the button that can be tapped/clicked.

[errant plover]

#automations-archived message

[keen plume]

@errant plover yes I saw that but it didn't look like I could put it in a row within a card

and didn't want to continue discussion in wrong channel

[errant plover]

Horizontal stack three buttons in a row. If you want them in an entities card you will need the custom-hui card too. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/hui-element-use-built-in-elements-in-the-wrong-place/192154

[keen plume]

ah perfect! thanks! i think that is exactly what I was looking for

@errant plover side question.. is it possible to also control the state dynamically? that is to make it greyed out when the button doesn't apply?

[errant plover]

That would be better done with the custom button card.https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card

[keen plume]

ahh ! ok perfect.. I did see this but wasn't sure

[errant plover]

It can be a complicated card to configure because it is hugely customisable. Start simple.

[keen plume]

will do.. i am a sw engineer so I should be able to get it working.. just needed a little direction 😄

one other question.. i am trying to understand a little on the vocabulary here.. when you build a custom a card in yml.. it will consist of various entities and types, right? and those types can be other "cards" ?

[errant plover]

A card has a type, e.g. entities, glance, horizontal stack, etc... Cards can contain different elements, like rows, or other cards.

[keen plume]

ahh ok that makes sense

thanks... will play with it more after work

Hi all. Asked that already in #ios_and_mac-archived cause it’s bugging me there the most. But it’s a generell Frontend Problem so: what can I do if my entities cards (standard Lovelace, no custom card) have been broken since this release? there are line breaks every day I open Lovelace in the browser. After the first refresh via F5 it disappears but reappears in the next session. In the iOS App it is the same but stays forever. See #ios_and_mac-archived message

To be clear: it is not related with ios or the app: it’s the same in Firefox and Safari in mac and pc

[cold tulip]

is there a way to !include other files in a themes yaml? trying to include animated-weather-icons.yaml code into themes rather than copy each .svg path

[polar kelp]

Update template-entity-row to the latest version.

Trust me. That's the problem.

[craggy schooner]

in a yaml I'm looking at there is code contained in [[[ ]]] brackets.. where or what should i google to find documentation on this... example:

          [[[ return entity === undefined ? 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3)' : '#efefef'; ]]]```

[dark dirge]

That’s probably from a config using custom button card

And it’s JavaScript

[cursive sapphire]

I trust you. But I am not sure what u want me to do 😁 could u point me in the direction how to do that? Thanks!

[craggy schooner]

thanks

[polar kelp]

You have template-entity-row installed, right?

[cursive sapphire]

I have it linked though not using it at the moment in my dashboard. Once I used it

With linked I mean it is still in settings - dashboards

[polar kelp]

That’s enough. Either remove it or install the latest version. Then clear your frontend caches.

[cursive sapphire]

Thanks 🙏

[polar kelp]

For the app there’s a button to do that in the settings somewhere. For uour browser, see the guide linked near the top of the readme for any of my lovelace things.

[cursive sapphire]

Worked. Thank you very much. How lucky I was that the developer read along and answered immediately 🤩

[whole heron]

I use some conditional cards to display graphs based on an input_select, can I use templates for that aswell?

[dark dirge]

only if it says so

and it doesn't

[whole heron]

or to be a bit more precise: could i use the selected entity from an input_select for a auto-entity card?

[dark dirge]

so you're not using a conditional card?

[whole heron]

well right now I do that:

[dark dirge]

auto-entities is a completely different card

[whole heron]

- type: conditional conditions: - entity: input_select.load_graph state: "Stunde" card: type: history-graph title: 'Systemload (Stunde)' hours_to_show: 1 entities: - entity: sensor.load_1m name: 1m

works well for some graphs (hour,day,week and so on)

[flat steeple]

i use this it has templates, works very well. https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-state-switch @whole heron

[whole heron]

I want a list of all my esps and based on that input_select auto-entities for that esp

a conditional card for esp32 1 to 12 would result in a lot of lines

@flat steeple thanks, but I assume that won't fit my usecase

[dark dirge]

I'm not following why auto-entities can't do everything you need

[whole heron]

sure it can but how do I replace the filter with the selected entity in the input_select field

[dark dirge]

the filter can take a template

and a regex

you just have to construct a template that outputs a list of entities based on the input_select, based on entity_id, name or whatever

I don't know how you're correlating them, but there are examples in the auto-entities docs

in any case, the answer is "no, conditional cards don't take templates"

[whole heron]

ah maybe I should replace include with template...

thanks

sorry it's late

[dark dirge]

I'm sure the magic is there, you'll just need to play with it

[mortal whale]

Can I call a service from the frontend that has randomly generated rgb values? My service call works when I manually enter values but fails when I try to get it to randomly generate a value.

I am using ```
"rgb_color: [{{range(0, 256) | random()}}, {{range (0, 256) | random()}}, {{range(0, 256) | random()}}]"

How do I display my code here in that format that you guys use? Was never able to figure that out...

[dark dirge]

You should call a script and put the template in there

[kind shell]

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks. Here's an example

Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

For over 15 lines you must use a code share site such as https://paste.ubuntu.com/ or https://www.hatebin.com/.

Command '~format' was invoked by: RobC

[mortal whale]

I am using a custom button card where I am trying to use the double tap to call the service to turn on a light to a random color. Would a script work for my case?

I've also never used scripts.

[dark dirge]

Then you’re not using the right template syntax either

But yes, you should be able to do what you want in a script. You can probably find threads on the forum about it

[mortal whale]

Kept trying without the script and this is the error I am getting "Failed to call service light/turn_on. expected float for dictionary value @ data['hs_color']" ```
double_tap_action:
action: call-service
service: light.turn_on
service_data:
entity_id: |
[[[ return entity.entity_id ]]]
hs_color:
- "{{ range(360)|random }}"
- "{{ range(80,101)|random }}"
brightness_pct: 100

[dark dirge]

You’ve randomly used two different template types

[mortal whale]

yeah...im not really sure what Im doing to be honest. I've just been trying to learn from forums. Most, if not all, of the stuff I have working uses the template type like the entity_id one I used. The hs_color part I found online and I am trying to get to work. The template documentation explains the jinja syntax seems to be what the hs_color is using but to be honest I am not sure what that means for my use case...

[dark dirge]

So it seems 🙂

You have to follow the docs for the card you’re using

[mortal whale]

Think I got it!

double_tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: light.turn_on
      service_data:
        entity_id: |
          [[[ return entity.entity_id ]]]
        hs_color:
          - '[[[return Math.floor(Math.random() * 361)]]]'
          - '[[[return Math.floor(Math.random() * 20)]]]'
        brightness_pct: 100

[dark dirge]

That looks better

[mortal whale]

Too much learning for today. I appreciate the guidance!

When it's run in what I'd call "fan only" mode it has a "Fan Mode" of "On" and an "Operation" as "Off". The default lovelace card presents the entire thing as "off" which is confusing. I'd appreciate some guidance on fixing how that presents.

[tender bronze]

is there a way to force a button to be square when in a horizontal stakc?

[polar kelp]

If you want only the one button to be square, it's probably easiest to put it in a grid in the stack.

That stretches both of the items in the stacks vertically. what I want is to have one square button on the right and another one which fills the remaining space

Good morning !!!

I am facing this "issue" with Lovelace.
It is "adding" cards to my dashboard without my consent. I have deleted them many times and it comes back !!

[errant plover]

No idea, that's why I used show_state: false to hide it.

[polar kelp]

idle is as opposed to recording or streaming.

Don't know if there's any camera integrations that actually set another state than idle, though.

[errant plover]

Click the three dots icon upper right and take control.

[polar kelp]

I assume that's the first step of "deleted them many times"...

[errant plover]

Yeah I was just coming to that conclusion

[polar kelp]

It could be a backup being restored somehow, or possible file permission problems.

[fleet fractal]

there is no such option in mine.

[errant plover]

Yeah you've already done it if you are deleting cards

It only shows once

[fleet fractal]

I've been using HA for quite some time now... and I never had this problem.

You've said what you've tried. You haven't said what the problem is. Are you getting an error?

[cedar girder]

has something changed recently regarding Markdown cards? My conditional card which had some templates in it doesnt work anymore

in particular doesnt show [[states]] anymore

[karmic tiger]

Are you getting an error?

[cedar girder]

not really it just started rendering states as text [[ state ]] instead of resolving it

ok i see that {{ states.blahblah }} still works

but it used to work with [[ ]] in markdown card, right? im not going crazy here?

[dark dirge]

I've never seen that. Custom button card uses [[[ ]]]

it's really a question of whether it uses the Jinja engine in the backend, in which case {{ }} is expected, or if it's javascript, and then the delimiters are card-dependent

[lyric atlas]

No error that I can see ... the lovelace card is just showing 0.0

Hello, would anybody know how to display this sort of label on a door or other binary sensor? To just say open/closed. On the binary sensors you don’t get this label. I do have card mod, but I don’t know how to do it in css. Thanks. https://imgur.com/a/W8YUAAO

@summer willow this is pretty cool, would you maybe @ me when you get something like this working? 🙂

[surreal agate]

Yea unfortunately I have tried this. It updates the icon correctly to its state, but the label is still not present

[finite pond]

How do I get state_color to work with a sensor in an entities card?

[umbral pier]

Hi, I created a js for creating a custom icon in the www folder. I added that as a resource. Worked. Found out it needs editing, so I modified the js. However I don't see the effect on the frotend. I'm not fully aware of the js loading mechanism... What should be restarted, redone to make the new js effective?

[errant plover]

state_color only works for binary sensors.

Or other binary devices like switches.

[finite pond]

Custom card to the rescue it seems

[errant plover]

card-mod would do it

[jagged vapor]

I m using a Gauge card for measuring moisture content. The card exceeds the max value which is 100 when the sensor actually exceeds the percentage.
Is there any way to manipulate the gauge card from exceding the maximum value?

[dark dirge]

you could create a template sensor that clamps the value

[jagged vapor]

If you have any reference code, Can you please share that here?

Working on an icon using the custom button card but I am having a hard time with the layout. Does anyone have experience with a button that has a main center icon at the top and two additional buttons within that button that just display data? I have it laid out but I cant get the main icon to center on the top. Its hanging out towards the left side.

Is there a way to organize/reorder the panels on dashboard?

Ah, i got it. The arrows 🤦‍♂️

[craggy perch]

Is it possible in the mini-graph-card to get the value by hovering over after disabling "show_points"?

[proven oar]

@long crane you probably want to look into horizontal/vertical stack cards too ... i missed them myself for some time

Hello, quick question. Is it possible to use one icon in lovelace for 2 entities? One to turn to the right when on and the other one to the left?

Hi, I am creating a progress bar that shows me the remaining print time on my 3D printer. I'm using bar-card and I'm wondering if it's possible to manage time values to set the "max" parameter to the total print time

[vapid field]

Hi, is anyone having problems with the frontend?I am getting what I think are time-outs. e.g. When I add a card to a dashboard view, the SAVE button simply has an endless circle going around and around. Additionally, I'm finding that I have to constantly clear my browser cache to get the most simplest thing done. This is HA specific. This seems to have happened after I tried to upgrade from 2021.06.4 to 2021.06.5 and it failed several times.

https://imgur.com/a/6pzaMIT Home assistant does not appear to be showing short events on the logbook card.. It will only show the "closed", and I want to see the openings. How can I do that?

[limpid apex]

Hello, I'm trying to customize an icon based on a attribute of my media player, but I can only use the state which is on or off.. can someone help me with this?

[dark dirge]

It depends on the card you’re using

And how you’re current specifying the icon to use

[manic harbor]

how can i make a dashboard have 3 cards side by side?

[dark dirge]

horizontal stack?

[manic harbor]

thanks I'll check that out

[dark dirge]

Might need to use panel mode to not be constrained to a single column

Or you can get fancy with a layout card or grid card

[bitter bolt]

anyone use custom-sidebar ? wondering how i get the proper names of the sidebar items that the plugin utilizes.

[manic harbor]

grid and horizontal panel all fit the cards into one card space

is there any way to make cards use 3 columns

or span multiple columns

[dark dirge]

Might need to use panel mode to not be constrained to a single column

[manic harbor]

i tried googling for panel mode but not sure I was finding the right thing

can you give me a bit more of a pointer please?

[dark dirge]

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/dashboards-and-views/#panel

[manic harbor]

ah I see

thanks RobC

panel mode is what I needed, thanks, got it working

[limpid apex]

@dark dirge im using card mod for a buttun card. Example: icon A when state on and icon B when state off. But instead of on/off I want it to be an attribute of the entity

[dark dirge]

you could create a template sensor with whatever logic you want for the icon, or use a custom button card

[limpid apex]

I'm using a custom button card atm

[dark dirge]

then you can use whatever logic you want for the icon

[hollow sky]

is there a way to add custom css to lovelace ?

Does anyone know why this isn't overriding my variables?

      card-mod-root: |
        ha-app-layout {
          background: url('/local/background.png');
          background-size: cover;
        }

            background: none !important;
            min-height: 100vh;
          }

I can see the background.png is there, but the hui-view is inheriting the background colour and doesn't seem to override it

I can see that the style applied is

hui-view {
    background: var( --lovelace-background, var(--primary-background-color) );
}

I'm facing an issue with lovelace recources, the js module can be displayed if I'm accessing the ui from internet (external access) but not locally 192..168.x.x

lol looks like the issue is resolved after the latest update

[tranquil saddle]

I'm trying to add an arrow after the current temperature, to display wether the temperature ist rising or falling. Any idea, how to add an arrow to a string on a button card?

[hollow sky]

@frozen olive i mean global css, not just for a card

[frozen olive]

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/dashboards-and-views/#resources add it as a resource

not entirely sure how that'll work through shadowdoms though

[hollow sky]

thanks

[upper zephyr]

does anyone know if theres a flexbox layout card

[hidden plinth]

Is it possible to create a template title for the notify service call? Basically I want the title to return the name of the user that has activated the service-call. I couldn't find anything regarding that in the template docs or notify docs. Or if it's possible in the message that would be great too. I use the service-call with custom:button-card btw. This is my code if anyone has any thoughts: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PGYKR74B9Q/

[timid moss]

How can I make a button to turn off all lights in my house, if some of them are light.xx and others are switch.xx? I thought of making a group containing them all, but what service would I call?

[dark dirge]

see this for a much more flexible button card, including the ability to template the service_data and pass the user in: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card

[hidden plinth]

that is the button-card I'm using. But I don't know how I can pass the user that is pressing the button through the service-call.

[dark dirge]

user: The user object (equivalent to hass.user)

[hidden plinth]

so the notification that pops up on the notify service call, shows that name of the user envoking the call

[dark dirge]

Action
All the fields support templates, see templates.

service_data object none Any service data Service data to include (e.g. entity_id: media_player.bedroom) when action defined as call-service. If your service_data requires an entity_id, you can use the keywork entity, this will actually call the service on the entity defined in the main configuration of this card. Useful for configuration templates

and so on

here's an example where I've used a template for the service_data:

    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: persistent_notification.create
      service_data:
        message: "[[[ return `${entity.attributes.friendly_name}` ]]]"

[hidden plinth]

'[[[ return `Kritieke melding van ${user}, doorgaan?` ]]]'

I tried this, but that doesn't work

I think I'm not fully grasping the template yet

[dark dirge]

ok

keep at it. mine works fine

[hidden plinth]

this one works fine, I have that for some buttons btw

perhaps I figured it out

[wheat current]

user === hass.user so user.name === The users name

[dark dirge]

yeah, that too 🙂

message: "[[[ return `${user.name}` ]]]" works

there we go. gotta double tick it

[wheat current]

If that works, message: "[[[ return user.name ]]]" should work as well

[dark dirge]

it should. there was some weirdness around confirmation popups that required the other syntax, though

the simpler one works fine in a persistent_notification

[hidden plinth]

🥳

yes, thanks guys, makes sense now as well

[fiery ledge]

this is for custom button-card is it?

[wheat current]

No it does not, nothing about this makes sense 😂

[dark dirge]

yes

[fiery ledge]

a ok, for a moment I thought I missed templates in core...

[dark dirge]

this required the backticks, and ${} for some reason: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card#confirmation

[wheat current]

You need that if you are using a variable inside the string

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals

[dark dirge]

ah, not a JS guy

[wheat current]

"need", Hi there ${user.name}! is the same as "Hi there " + user.name + "!"

[fiery ledge]

  confirmation:
    text: >
      [[[ return 'Are you sure you want to toggle ' + entity.attributes.friendly_name + '?'; ]]]

can be used too. A Ludeeus beat me to it.. sorry

[dark dirge]

I learned just enough to make a simple custom card, and that's already started leaking out

[timid moss]

How can I make a button perform two tap_actions?
I tried

          tap_action:
            - action: call-service
              service: light.turn_off
              service_data:
                entity_id: light.all_lights
            - action: call-service
              service: homeassistant.turn_off
              service_data:
                entity_id: group.all_switches

but nothing happens when I press the button

[dark dirge]

use a script

[wheat current]

use a script

[dark dirge]

no, use a script

[wheat current]

NO! use a script

[timid moss]

Wait I think I might try using a script

[wheat current]

sounds good 👍

[dark dirge]

way to think out of the box

[timid moss]

Yeah it just came to me

[hidden plinth]

you can call multiple service calls according to RomRider

tap_action:
  action: nothing
  multi_calls: |
    [[[
      hass.callService(
        "light",
        "turn_on",
        { entity_id: "light.my_light", brightness: 200 }
      );
      hass.callService(
        "switch",
        "turn_off",
        { entity_id: "switch.my_switch" }
      );
    ]]]

see: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card/issues/314#issuecomment-616258963

[wheat current]

yeah.... was about to say that you have full hass access in the template, so you can just abuse that 😄

[hidden plinth]

I haven't used this myself, just happend to come across this ticket when I was submitting a ticket a few days ago

[wheat current]

but scripts, are the cleaner way

[dark dirge]

gack, yeah, I wouldn't do it that way except to show off 🙂

[wheat current]

Reminds me of the CTF GitHub had earlier this year https://github.blog/2021-03-22-github-ctf-results/

[mortal whale]

I remember I had seen a card with a drop down that let you select the device you wanted to cast to. Does anyone know how to achieve that?

[dark dirge]

sounds like an input_select entity

[wheat current]

Input select?

[dark dirge]

no, input_select

[wheat current]

Ah! input_select

Yeah that make sense

[dark dirge]

feels some serious deja vu

[mortal whale]

Ah input_select maybe with another card that can show/hide depending on what is selected. Good idea.

[charred frigate]

Hey guys - is there any chance I can combine two (other/unrleated) custom cards using the hui-element or some custom card (if anyone has done something similar)? And if so , is it mandatory that the card that will encompass the hui-element has a entity: or entities: attribute or it can be just any attribute ?

[manic harbor]

with the history graph, if I make one for 7 days (168 hours), it still shows time of day on the x axis rather than days

Anyone else not able to use light&dark themes? I tried making just a basic one and it doesn't give me the option for the modes when I select it

[vapid field]

I'm reading other users who are also experiencing intermittent refreshes of their HA WebGUI. I've just started to experience the same thing. Based on my troubleshooting, it seems (to me at least) that somewhere between the 2012.06.4 and the most current release has somehow introduced this. My config is sitting behind pfSense and HAProxy and I've implemented the "timeout tunnel 1h" suggestion to no avail. I'm not using https, and HAProxy is forwarding to <ip_address>:8123. My setup is on an RPi4. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

EDIT: If the refresh tries to take place when I'm clicking Save or Create, then HA says "unknown error." But when I click Save or Create again, it goes through, but nothing seems to be in the HA logs.

[lucid pumice]

looking to just show text from a sensor that is text (weather forcast info). Any good ways to do that in lovelace?

[fathom fox]

I am seeing this error quite frequently in the logs 2021-06-22 13:38:28 ERROR (MainThread) [frontend.js.latest.202106030] :0:0 ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications.

[frozen olive]

there's nothing fancy to get custom fonts in is there, just a font.css in www/font.css and then included in resources as { url: /local/font.css, type: css }

@font-face {
    font-family: "sf text";
    font-weight: 700;
    font-style: italic;
    src: url(/local/fonts/SF-UI-Text-BoldItalic.otf)
}

      ha-card-header-font-family: "sf text"

for whatever reason, i cant even see my font.css being loaded

[polar kelp]

Doesn't that define a font family that only works for italic text with weight 700? I could be way off

And try adding a semicolon to the end there. After url()

[frozen olive]

it does, although I have all the variants in there too

@font-face {
    font-family: "sf text";
    font-weight: 400;
    src: url(/local/fonts/SF-UI-Text-Regular.otf)
}

then in the computer section I can see

font-family: "sf text"
font-weight: 400

but it looks like times new roman to me 😂

[polar kelp]

Still missing that semicolon

[frozen olive]

didnt make much difference adding it

[polar kelp]

https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

[nocturne plume]

This is a beautiful card 🙇‍♂️

[polar kelp]

It's rather useful.

I'm actually just starting to realize how useful myself: <#frontend-archived message>

[hollow otter]

Awesome, I figured a custom card probably existed for it, but I try to avoid them until I know the built in ones can't do what I want.

[slow pilot]

Can anyone tell me where to find floorplan.yaml

I'm trying to get floorplan working, but all these guidelines say to modify floorplan.yaml

it doesn't exist anywhere in my HA tho

Was there some version change where floorplan.yaml doesn't exist anymore

I have floorplan up and running, but when I want to add sensors and action behind them, i need to modify flooorplan.yaml

but i cant find it anywhere

help pls!

[hollow otter]

it doesn't exist by default, if you're starting one you have to make it as a blank text file to start.

[slow pilot]

Then how does the floorplan work at all without it? It's just built into the lovelace card?

[hollow otter]

it also never existed by default to my knowledge. You may want to re-read that tutorial to figure out what they're talking about. There have been a few different floorplan projects over the years.

Or alternatively, you can use the new picture elements card in lovelace.

[slow pilot]

That's what's so frustrating, honestly. There are so many different tutorials and they seem to refer to outdated versions of floorplan

[hollow otter]

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/

Yeah, if you're new to home assistant, I'd recommend sticking with the official home assistant stuff on that https://www.home-assistant.io/ site to start until you're comfortable with the platform and only then looking up more custom 'fan made' project tutorials.

[slow pilot]

the picture-elements example seems like it's what i'm shooting for

i have a bunch of water sensors that i want to embed in my background image. they show "dry" image version when sensor is dry and "wet" image version when sensor reads wet.

[hollow otter]

All the cool custom stuff is simultaneously the best and worst part of home assistant 😅 best because it shows just how much awesome stuff you can do, but worst because if you're new to the project and trying to re-create any particular screenshot you find can be damn near impossible.

[slow pilot]

i've got the svg of my background. i know how to add the 'dry' icons and label them. i'm just not sure i see how to set up the connection between the wet/dry image and the actual sensor in my HA setup.

[hollow otter]

you will need to map different states of the sensor to either different images, or different css styles. https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#how-to-use-state_image

[slow pilot]

Seems like map sensor to different images is the way to go. But where do I put the .yaml coding that the example shows?

[hollow otter]

You can do it however you do your lovelace cards.

you can set up your lovelace in the UI, or you could also map it to a .yaml file.

[slow pilot]

i guess i'm doing it in the UI

i find this launguage when i dive in

type: 'custom:floorplan-card'
full_height: true
config:
image: \local\floorplan\JSG\Basementv2.svg
stylesheet: \local\floorplan\examples\home\home.css
log_level: info
console_log_level: info
defaults:
tap_action: more-info

that seems to be the basis for 1 of the 3 (cards/pages) that i'm workin gon

is that where I stick the "elements:" tag and start setting up the entite etc

[hollow otter]

Well if you're going with the picture elements card for now, you need to wipe everything you've done so far with the floorplan card.

[slow pilot]

argh lol

[hollow otter]

yeah lol, some of the stuff may overlap, not not everything does 😅 so having stuff from the other one could cause your card to break

[slow pilot]

I dont mind doing some research but this feels like a series of traps

[hollow otter]

haha, yeah that's why I said stick just with the official home assistant site until you get comfortable. some custom stuff is really awesome, but can be confusing when you are just getting started

[slow pilot]

Why isn't it just this;

rules:
- entity: light.garage
element: light.garage
state_action:
action: call-service
service: floorplan.image_set
service_data: '/local/floorplan/examples/home/light_${entity.state}.svg'

or is this based on some outdated floorplan?

the entity is the ID in the svg. So does that mean that the element is the HA sensor i'm trying to attach to?

[hollow otter]

That looks like it was based on some custom project, I'm not familiar with that ever being an official part of home assistant.

[slow pilot]

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/floorplan-now-available-as-a-lovelace-card/115489/323

would be so nice if there was some way to tag outdated instructions

[hollow otter]

yeah, that's a community project. Anything in the community tab should be taken with a grain of salt.

I don't use that project, it may not be outdated, but it's a custom add-on to HA, it's not built in.

[slow pilot]

well u seem to know whats going on here more than me.
My goal here is to highlight which of the leak sensors is showing as wet. Is there an easier way to show that at a glance?

i was planning to drop them on a real map of the house and let the right one light up. but that seems like a dead end

[hollow otter]

Looks like this is a current project, not outdated, and this is the website for it that may have better documentation for you to look at https://experiencelovelace.github.io/ha-floorplan/

[steady sluice]

Hey guys, so im trying to use mdi icons but this one isnt working. mdi:cast-variant

https://materialdesignicons.com/

[slow pilot]

@hollow otter thanks for ur help; i gotta run

[steady sluice]

It says it is on the mdi website here

[slow pilot]

that seems like the same place i'm going

[hollow otter]

Looking at the site it's more complicated than the picture elements card, but you get a lot more flexibility and functionality in exchange. I'd still recommend you starting over based on the picture elements card link I sent you to start with, because it seems like it can do everything you need and it may be easier.
https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#examples

[polar kelp]

That website is terrible for several reasons, but unfortunately the best source I know of... Among those reasons are that they seem to display that icon under its version 6.0 name cast-variant while claiming they display the version 5.8 iconset where that icon is named apple-airplay.

[steady sluice]

Thanks!

[next goblet]

Hi folks. I hope this is the right place to ask. I'm using history graphs in my lovelace UI, and even after setting the refresh interval to e.g. 120, my browser is sending requests for more info every 4 or so seconds. This causes a fair amount of work for my HA server.

Am I doing something wrong?

I am planning to try out: https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card to see if it is more power/network efficient, but I thought I would ask here first to see if anyone else had the same issue, or any insights into fixing it.

[slow pilot]

@hollow otter Is the only way to place the "state_image" using top/left percentages? You cant inlay the base image in the background image?

[dark dirge]

I see no evidence that state_image is an option for the state-badge type

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/#state-badge

[slow pilot]

https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/picture-elements/

the images example there uses "state_image"

should I try state_badge instead?

[dark dirge]

not with type state-badge that I can see

[slow pilot]

OOOH

[dark dirge]

you need to conform to the options specified for each type

like that, the sensor disappears entirely

[dark dirge]

looks more promising. But binary_sensor.ls_ro_room_dry will never be "Dry" or "Wet"

binary_sensor is always either "on" or "off"

[slow pilot]

oh. it reports as "Dry" state right now.

but just reinterpret that as on/off? ur thinking?

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks. Here's an example

Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

For over 15 lines you must use a code share site such as https://paste.ubuntu.com/ or https://www.hatebin.com/.

Hey guys, so im trying to make a frontend for my fire tablet but it looks like this

https://imgur.com/a/BwWm2uM

I cant figure out how to make the buttons span the entire page

Ive tried using a vertical/horizontal stack card and panel mode, it still looks like that^

[crystal oyster]

Is there a way to change the background color of a webpage within the webpage/iframe card for lovelace?
As in, the webpage itself has a white background that i'd like to change to a darker background.

basically inject my own CSS

[lime portal]

Is it still true that you cannot use templates in a conditional card's state check? i.e.

    - entity: {{ state_attr('media_player.name', 'app_name') }}
      state_not: 'Spotify'```

(for those curious, I have a card stack setup with all my media_players, but if a media_player is running Spotify I don't want it to display that player as Spotify has its own card)

[errant plover]

Yes it is still true. Have a look at the custom-auto-entities card.

[final nacelle]

Would be nice, thanks

[upper zephyr]

Hi, so im trying to setup a 3d printer dashboard but i use mainly imperial, but for 3D printing i use metric. is there a way to do the conversion from F to C? i tried using unit_of_measurement: '°C' but that would only change the letter for maybe 5-10 seconds and go back to F with no changes to the value. any advice on how to make this work?

[exotic dew]

If I wasn't having an issue w/ my install I could offer advice. I had this same issue when I updated from an ancient HA version a few months ago

[vapid field]

Hi! Not sure if this is the correct channel for this. I have home assistant running with docker. I wanted to use the drag and drop functionality (https://github.com/RACELAND-Automacao-Lda/Custom-Grid-View). I downloaded the file, added as a resource and edited the yaml file in the dashboard (all on IU). I tried to run home assistant in another device and I got an error. Is this because the resource is locally installed?

[upper zephyr]

so i have a template set up like this so its a bit more confusing value_template: '{{ states.sensor.spaghetti_sensor.attributes["extruder"]["target"] | float | round(1) }}' (this is someone else code for Moonraker stuff)

i think this is how you change from f to c with the calculations too {{ ((float(states('sensor.sensor1')) * 9 / 5 ) + 32) | round(1) }}

[wheat current]

spaghetti_sensor?? 🤔

[exotic dew]

my Supervisor API is refusing to load and the green LED on the Pi is on solid. The db is still being written to as far as I can tell since the graphs are being generated after the last reboot.

[upper zephyr]

yeah moonraker, klipper stuff

[exotic dew]

My SD card is only a few months old and the last one I bought lasted 2yrs.

[upper zephyr]

are they both the same?

[exotic dew]

SSH is kind of working, but it got hung waiting on the supervisor to load. SMB is taking forever to do anything and my last attempt to browse the shared location to check my configs timed out.

[upper zephyr]

hmm could be the sd card failing? im not sure i run mine in docker. ive had to many issues with sd card

[exotic dew]

I've had good luck w/ SDs in octoprint and my previous HA install. the newer release (I was on 0.78) seems to hit the SD a lot harder and runs slower on the same hardware for me not having any more stuff configured than before.

[upper zephyr]

ahh, could be that no issues with klipper here. but i do alot with my HA so wanted something a bit more reliable

[exotic dew]

The Pi is my best option so far since my QNAP NAS is slow as molasses

I have a spare 128GB SSD that I could press into service, but if HA killed an SD this quick then it might happen to the SSD too

[upper zephyr]

yeah i get that, i run a few pcs and servers so yes xD. if you have a Pi 4 maybe look into a ssd? ive never tried it but should be better than an sd card

[exotic dew]

I have a pi4 on the way, but it's allocated to my next printer build.

pi3b is my HA rig right now

[upper zephyr]

i have an ITX pc for my HA with a 120 ssd i think for like 3ish years with no problems

so the ssd should be fine

[exotic dew]

yeah, my first samsung SD lasted 2yrs so I got another when it went read-only.

[upper zephyr]

not SD, SSD. for pi stuff i try to only run Class 10 for this reason. what class is the SD card you used?

[exotic dew]

class 10

yeah, I read you're using an SSD. I was referring to my setup

[upper zephyr]

ah ok xD

[exotic dew]

i need to see if the 3b can run an SSD. SDs aren't expensive, but replacing them this quickly will get to be

[upper zephyr]

im not sure, but if it does that would be huge

[exotic dew]

crap... have a teams meeting in 2min.

[upper zephyr]

MULTITASK!!!!

[exotic dew]

PCs are not conveniently close. lol

power cycle sped up the SMB response it seems

  unit_of_measurement: C

  unit_of_measurement: C
sensor.octoprint_target_bed_temp:
  unit_of_measurement: C
sensor.octoprint_target_tool0_temp:
  unit_of_measurement: C

@upper zephyr that's what I have in customize.yaml

[upper zephyr]

oh i have '°C' could be that

[exotic dew]

yeah, that ascii doesn't play well for some reason

[upper zephyr]

So the template is set up like this

      spaghetti_hotend_actual:
        friendly_name: 'Hotend Actual'
        value_template: '{{ states.sensor.spaghetti_sensor.attributes["extruder"]["temperature"]  | float | round(1) }}'
        device_class: temperature
        unit_of_measurement: '°C'
        icon_template: mdi:thermometer

[exotic dew]

I don't use a template, just the octoprint sensors. I had a time w/ the new version detecting it as an integration and conflicting w/ my old yaml file

[upper zephyr]

YAY that was the issues lol

but yeah moonraker needs a bit more setup and tamplates to make everything a bit smoother

gunna keep an eye on it for like 5min so it it stays the same

[exotic dew]

i haven't tried moonraker, but have considered it even tho i'd lose several plugins i use in octoprint

[upper zephyr]

yeah, im building a huge voron but i added all i needed like Gcode preview, gcode send to printer with SuperSlicer and cams (im using a Pi2 for cams even tho klipper is on a Pi4)

[exotic dew]

MQTT is a big thing for me. I use it as a backup to TRP in case of a failed mosfet

[upper zephyr]

neat temps are good, gunna change the rest

TRP?

[exotic dew]

thermal runaway

[upper zephyr]

ahh you might like klipper its a bit complicated but really nice and alot of features

[exotic dew]

I have a smart switch w/ power monitoring on my Ender 3

I'm a Klipper fanboy

[upper zephyr]

octoprint ive noticed is like the entry point of all this

[exotic dew]

been running it for over a year

[upper zephyr]

ahh ok cool, i switched a few years ago and love it

[exotic dew]

I'm on track to a 25min benchy once I get my driver cooling issue resolved. 3 attempts have all failed due to massive layer shift at the same point. sliced 2 different times too.

my hotend can only handle about 14mm/s3 w/o really cranking up the heat

[upper zephyr]

i missed having a printer, been about a yeah do to health reasons and Hypercubes being a pain. So decided on a 350x350x400 Voron xD

might mess with speed benchys after i tune is properly

[exotic dew]

I was talking up on socials about wanting to do a 500 cube Ratrig. Then karma kicked me and I won the V-minion on a giveaway last month. it's 180 cube. similar design to the prusa mini

[upper zephyr]

All im waiting on is the Bed (under weight for the silicone mat and magnet for 24 hours) then add High temp silicone for another 24 hours so im hoping to be back into printing around Friday or Saturday

oh thats cool. i might stick with the voron community they are just so nice and supportive. big difference from the Hypercube community

[exotic dew]

it's good to have options.👍

[upper zephyr]

yeah

[exotic dew]

looks like I need an OS and HA update. I'll do that after updating addons and getting a snapshot

[exotic dew]

wow, history graphs are popping now. haven't seen this response since March when i left 0.7x. Hope it lasts.

[nova bloom]

is there a way to move the icon to the left of the name in a button card?

[dark dirge]

I don't think so. You can with a custom button card: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card

[nova bloom]

does that remove the regular button card or just in addition to?

[dark dirge]

it's a separate card

https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card#advanced-styling-options

it's pretty great, highly recommended

[nova bloom]

looks wonderful. shame my HACS does not seem to show it for download.

[dark dirge]

well, it's there

[nova bloom]

oh boy there it is. sorry. for some reason i forgot how to use Hacs

[junior topaz]

using fan-control-entity-row with bond fan. I can set speed but off button doesn't appear to work. any ideas?

[lucid pumice]

HACS saying everything installed is not loaded, yet the are loaded and work on lovelace. any ideas whats up with that. I've been thorugh the related help doc and not managed to fix it

[serene ridge]

Not sure if this is the proper channel to ask. But when adding people, can I bind that to an "existing" account? It asks either unable to login or to create an account.. but the user already exists.

And finding it weird that I'm unable to change the main zone :-\

[frail crag]

Hi there, can't figure out from the manuals if there is an equivalent for templates for frontend. As a concrete example... a sensor graph that I would like to duplicate for 20 similar sensors. Do I have to copy paste 20 times?

[serene ridge]

Is the biosensor lock bugged? It's asking me to unlock twice

[dark dirge]

@frail crag Look into YAML anchors

[bitter bolt]

whats the easiest way to make a template's text change color depending on the number of the state? i have a state with a number like 77.4, which refers to the temperature in F.

right now i'm using a plain sensor. card

[dark dirge]

it looks like you'd want to define a theme and then apply it using the theme option, or you could use card_mod

[steady sluice]

Does anyone know how I can make a card a square?

Right now its formatting into a thin rectangle when I want it to be a square

Its a custom light card

[polar kelp]

Put it in a grid card with one column?

[copper yoke]

Yesterday my HA reset my dasboard to a complete new one with all the entities, any idea why this happened or how to reverse it?

[polar kelp]

Sounds like .storage/lovelace went missing somehow. Are you sure that's the only thing that happened?

Either way, restoring from your last backup is probably your best bet.

Hi everyone, is there a way to make my custom frontend plugin configurable?

[mild cliff]

I would like a list of all battery entities that has not been updated/changed for X days in my Lovelace dashboard. Is this possible with some of the default cards, or do I need to use custom cards? The need for such list is that some of my devices stop reporting battery status when the battery is dead, and last battery state can be hanging on 30% for instance.

[polar kelp]

How do you mean?

[polar kelp]

You need auto-entities. Or an automation that checks for this and sens you a notification.

[mild cliff]

@polar kelp you mean this: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities? Since I have bunch of battery devices I would rather want to have a list of entities, then a lot of notifications

[polar kelp]

Yes. That one

[mild cliff]

Hehe, thats your work 🙂

            :host {
              --paper-item-icon-color:

And it gets cut off on my tablet: https://imgur.com/a/KnsHku4

[errant plover]

Specify an aspect ratio **instead of **a width and height. You can not use both at once or weird things happen. https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card#aspect-ratio

You might be able to specify one of width or height along with an aspect ratio. Not sure. Have not tried it.

[timid moss]

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

[fiery ledge]

for the interested, I made a mistake of not delimiting the templates with a semi-colon.. all good now. both icon and icon color get modded (in the card, not the more-info though), see https://community.home-assistant.io/t/card-mod-add-css-styles-to-any-lovelace-card/120744/1915?u=mariusthvdb for more on this

[quick vessel]

I'm not sure if it is for #integrations-archived or #frontend-archived. I'm using the KNX integration to control covers. I provide an absolute position for the covers to move to and receive a state with the current absolute position.
It works fine if I select the cover in the UI and use the slider, however the "Up" and "Down" buttons do not work (nothing is being sent to the bus).
Is there a way to make them send 100% and 0% as absolute position?

[keen socket]

Hi! Doesn't your actuator support binary up/down position commands? Most do. If not, I think this would require an update to the knx integration.

[quick vessel]

It does. I was just hoping to save myself the trouble of setting it up in the ETS software.

I can do it of course if it is required to get it to work

[keen socket]

its a pretty standard thing. I have not seen any installation not having binary configured, whereas there are some that don't support %. I'd go this route.

[quick vessel]

Alright, I'll do it that way then. Wish I could automate the KNX software as well 😄 So much dragging and dropping to set everything up

[keen socket]

If you like python more than ETS you could also add the function to xknx 😉 https://github.com/XKNX/xknx/blob/a9ebe999fff118a55b96e4dba70a04101aabcd2e/xknx/devices/cover.py#L175

[quick vessel]

I'll seriously consider it. Might be a useful addition

[stuck hazel]

i'm new to home assistant, can someone help me with a garage door + door sensor?

[dark dirge]

#hardware-archived

[stuck hazel]

i do already have the hardware in place

On my dashboard i have a button to open/close the garage door, and another one to see if the door sensor is opened or closed, can i combine these in one?

[dark dirge]

Yes, a template cover

It’s quite a common use case

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/cover.template/

[stuck hazel]

i've tried looking at it online, but i don't understand enough about the yaml programming to do it

[dark dirge]

You just add some variant of the example in the docs to your configuration.yaml

More examples there: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/template-cover-for-garage-door/241763

[stuck hazel]

i've tried using ur latest link and just change the variables, but it says "no card type found"

[dark dirge]

That’s not a card

You create a cover template and then add that to a card

[stuck hazel]

and how do i create this cover template?

[dark dirge]

Configuration

To enable Template Covers in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

[stuck hazel]

so i put the whole code in the configuration.yaml file?

[dark dirge]

Yes

[stuck hazel]

done, how do i add this to a cart?

[kind shell]

Always run the configuration check command when you make changes. Don't trust the UI check - it misses some problems.

[stuck hazel]

i don't see "is_state"

Where?

That’s what you need to use

[stuck hazel]

No?

can i change the color? depending on open or closed?

Only with a card that lets you do that, or with card_mod
